Like most weeks, positives and negatives.
But the weekend looks rosier when you wake up after beating those pr#cks....especially after ruining their celebrations.
Quite a few highlights for me but none better than the tackle on Stringer late in the game where he tried the fend off and got caught holding the ball....all it needed was for the tackler to push his head into the soggy turf and really rub it in.
I took a step back this morning and just looked at it.....9-3! Not in our wildest dreams could we have predicted that and with a bit of luck with the Silvagni snap against the Pies, it could be 10-2.
When you take into consideration the players who've missed multiple games this season through injury etc.....Pittonet, Marchbank, Williams, Walsh, McGovern, McDonald, Martin, McKay. Then players who've missed a week here and there.....Cerra, Cripps, Weitering (now out for an extended period), Hewett, Kennedy and probably one or two more that I've missed.
As others have mentioned, we just need to keep winning enough games to get into the 8 and maybe sneak a top 4 spot with a bit of luck and hopefully in the last 3-4 weeks leading into finals we can see a team list which includes Weitering, Pittonet, Williams, McGovern, Cerra etc. It'll be a nice problem to have squeezing them all in.
On a side note, wonderful to see Marchbank back out there and he could really be something down back for us if his body can hold up. He looked a bit rusty of course but he'll only get better. Young looks more composed as each week goes by and with Weitering down back, we have the hallmarks of a really strong defensive unit for years to come.
Loved hearing Bombers fans boo Saad every time he got it and ran off with it. Some of his precision kicking is just elite.
